Dozens arrested in anti-capitalism May Day protest in Montreal

Police arrested 84 people, including 27 on criminal charges, and used tear gas to disperse demonstrators at a night-time protest in downtown Montreal organized by a local anti-capitalist group called CLAC.

Hundreds of people gathered at at least three different locations around the city, well before the protests officially got underway at 7 p.m. ET.

The group called on protesters to cause the “maximum disruption possible” to businesses downtown.

However, the majority of the crowd were people carrying anti-austerity messages with no intention of vandalism or violence.

Not to mention the most heavily government-subsidized post-secondary education system in Canada by a MILE. And they keep “striking” because their tuition is almost $2K. SHEEEEEEESH!

Yet not a single one would move to a communist (yes the opposite of capitalist) country, and they owe their well-being and every single possession to “capitalism”. Considering that true capitalism exists no where makes them even more idiotic.
